That said, if a diet is properly balanced - amino acids can be found elsewhere, so dogs can live very healthily on non-meat diets as well, and sometimes they must due to certain disease states.
Well, since Molly has such bad skin allergies anyway, I think I'm going to try the fish & grain-free. As oppose to chicken or beef....I need to stear clear of corn and grain, and by-products.
As long as I see that she can still get her source of protein and amino's, then it's worth a shot.

Thanks for your reply!

I'm really glad I started this thread; I love all the input. It's a BIG help!
